HUL
Mier that night, Dn stayed in the cemetery for more than ten days. Neither Sophie, Benedict, nor their father could get him toe a
Benedict thought it was because he had punished Dn too harshly and hurt his pride..
But when he asked him. Dn only said, "Benedict, it''s not your problem, it''s me. I just want to be alone for a while."
you
Later, Benedict and the others stopped bothering him. Only on the third day, a message was delivered to Dn. Caleb had been beaten gait.
Moreover,
med right inside the Marquis''s Estate. He was stuffed into a sack, dragged out, and beaten.
By the time he was found, Caleb had been beaten half to death, lying in the alleyway covered in wounds.
The most amusing thing was, whether intentional or not on the part of those thugs, several more of Caleb''s teeth were knocked out. Now, he lisped every time
he spoke.
When the Marquis and Adeline Nevill heard about this, they almost suspected Dn of doing it.
After all, Dn had just knocked out two of Caleb''s teeth, and then two dayster, Caleb had several more inexplicably knocked out
It wasn''t until Gabriel personally intervened and told them that Dn had long been confined to the cemetery and couldn''t possibly have gone out to hit anyone, that the couple half-believingly returned home.
At this time, the true culprit was still inside the Prince Regent''s residence, listening to the news reported by his subordinates.
Nn tapped his finger on the table, a cold expression on his handsome face. "It''s ridiculous that they me that girl for something missing from the Marquis''s estate."
At this time, Ross and the others were reporting that Adeline had gone to Saint Grace Nunnery and publicly humiliated Eliza for stealing her snow cream.
Gavin and the others said indignantly, That''s right. When we heard about it, we all thought that Adeline was incredibly biased. The Holy Lady only went to the Marquis''s estate with a mentor, and they dared to frame her. It''s utterly shameless."
Because Eliza had previously given Nn a life-saving medicine, everyone in the Prince Regent''s estate had a very good. impression of her.
And it''s obvious that someone who was willing to give away such a rare medicine as a gift would never steal snow cream
After all, the medication she gave was much more precious than the snow cream.
"Since the Marchioness believes that the Holy Lady stole her snow cream but cannot provide evidence. I will personally go to her house and help her investigate. Nn smiled faintly and stood up.
Ross and the others were dumbfounded. "Isn''t that a bit much, Your Highness? If you think that the Marchioness has ndered the Holy Lady''s reputation, just leave it to us to investigate. Why bother going all the way there yourself?"
Nn nced at them sideways and uttered. "Nonsense"
After saying that he went straight out.
Ross and the others felt that the people in Marquis''s estate would be in trouble today.
The Marquis did not expect that the Prince Regent would visit again so soon.
An hourter, Nn was sitting in the first seat in the main hall of the Marquis''s estate, looking rxed and at ease as he drank the coffee that Dale Nevill had personally brewed.
Nn said. "Your skills are so good that I must visit more often in the future."
Dale''s expression stiffened, and he quicklyughed and said, "It''s not really a skill, I just got a few jars of good coffee beans a few days ago. If Your Highness likes it, I''ll have someone send it all to your estateter."
Dale didn''t want to deal with Nn at all.
Firstly, the Duke and Nn were not on good terms, and secondly, he always felt that every time Nn came to visit, he was
up to no go
His intuition
sim it must be the same this time. Sure enough, he soon realized that he was right.
Nn looked at the coffee in his cup p and asked with a smile, "That wouldn''t be good, would it? What if your wife runs to the gate of Prince Regent''s mansion and says I stole your coffee? That would be a big misunderstanding"
Dale''s eyelids twitched as he heard the implication in his words.
He forced a smile and asked knowingly. "Why did you say that? Could it be that there is some misunderstanding between my wife and Your Highness?"
"You tter me, Marquis, What misunderstanding could there be between me and your wife?"
The more anxious Dale became, the more Nn refused to borate, simply tossing him a casual remark. "Don''t you what your own people have done?"
Dale cursed under his breath before immediately ordering, "Go and invite Mrs. Nevill here!
"Yes." It wasn''t long before Adeline arrived.
Upon entering, she asked with confusion, "My Lord, what urgent matter required my presence? I was tending to Caleb''s
wounds."
know
Having suffered repeated beatings over the past few days, Caleb was bedridden, unable to move without pain, and required assistance even for applying medicine.
The thought of it filled Adeline with resentment. As she entered, she cursed. "Which audacious thief dared toy a hand on my Caleb? If I catch them. Il tear them limb... Excuse me, Your Royal Highness?"
Adeline froze mid-sentence, startled by Nn''s presence.
Regaining herposure, she hurriedly bowed. "Your Royal Highness, greetings!"
She thought, "Why is this troublemaker here again? Why didn''t Dale even ask anyone to give me a heads-up? It''s really scary
Adeline was stillforting herself, unaware that the rogue she was cursing and wanted to tear into pieces was sitting right in front of her.
Nn remained calm and collected. He said indifferently, "Mrs. Nevill, you are really busy. I wonder if you have solved the previous case?"
"Case? What case? Adeline was still confused and didn''t understand.
Dale quickly reminded her, "Was anything stolen from our estate recently?"
As soon as he said this, Adeline immediately remembered. "Yes, something was
stolen"
15:35 F T1 Apr
Adeline said furiously, "My Lord, the three bottles of snow cream that the Empress Dowager bestowed upon me were meant
for Caleb, but I never expected that Eliza would steal them!"
The instant he heard that name, Dale''s heart skipped a beat.
